After a dozen or so PvP Battles, these are the early payout projections ...
... since the TIER 38 Battle Cycle isn't scheduled to begin until tomorrow (03/02), these projections may be adjusted upward.
This also represents the approximately
20% decrease we experienced in TIER 37 using TIER 37 Primary Weapons ... players should adjust their expected payouts upwards by 20% accordingly. :cool:
My Current High Vault Take:
1.14B Diamonds.
I'm setting the preliminary "baseline" and
TIER 38 minimum payout @
1.05B Diamonds.

Early Projected Effort To Fully Upgrade "
ALPHA-MIKE" is roughly
890 PvP Victories based on the ...
...
942,190,000,000 Diamonds required (projected cost) to upgrade the TIER 38 Defense Base.
The problem is the inability to acquire adequate weapons since the
TIER 38 variety (minimum) will be required to raid the largest vaults available ...
... my advice is, as it always is, grab a pair of TIER 38 Primary Weapons as soon as is humanly possible.
(If your pockets are deep enough, go for the Secondary Weapons).
RAZORBLADE X is now currently available for closing contracts and increasing player health.
There are a pair of
37.5 Primary Weapons on sale today for
480 GOLD and although I am expecting
38.0 Primaries to be put on sale tomorrow (of soon thereafter) for "
in game cash" ...
... as they say, "A bird in the hand ... " ...
37.5 ROSE ELITE MKII ASSAULT - 10.31T-15.81T.
37.5 PUMA ELITE MKII SNIPER - 10.31T-15.81T.
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!

Consequently, I am raising the "baseline (average)" payout to: 1.50 Billion Diamonds.
The minimum payout has also been increased to: 1.40 Billion Diamonds.
My Current High Vault Take: 1.69 Billion Diamonds.
It's hard to say where the absolute ceiling lies since it's relatively early on in the cycle ...
... rest assured, I'll give it my best shot trying to locate it though. :cool:
I really need to close some contracts and increase my "Player Health"; so easy to get distracted.
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
(They did short change us during TIER 37).
New Record High Vault Take: 1.96 Billion Diamonds.
I'm still trying to determine where the ceiling is ...
... but I suspect it's somewhere North of 2.0 Billion Diamonds.
Ooh Rah !!!

... which makes them very tough since my Player Health is near the TIER 38 max (368 actually).
In fact, I've had 2 x win streaks halted because of these opponents but the 942B Upgrade Cost of the TIER 38 Defense Base make it all worthwhile. :cool:
New Record High Vault Take: 2.03 Billion Diamonds.
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
Base 39 release
Along with the TIER 39 opponents that we're already facing, the only "missing" component are widely available weapons and, of course, a PLAYER HEALTH upgrade that would increase the Level to 380.
There are some serious implications that I can infer from all of this ...
We'll explore these here: http://ggnbb.glu.com/showthread.php?241432-TIER-39-has-been-released&p=549765&viewfull=1#post549765
